Leicester City take on the visitors Brighton at “King Power Stadium” in the matchday two of the English Premier League. The game will be played on Saturday, August 19th.
There have been many rumours circulating around Leicester City recently about departure of Riyad Mahrez, Daniel Drinkwater and Demarai Gray from the club, however, they are still staying with “The Foxes”. It was Craig Shakespear’s side which opened the new season of the Premier League and made it in a spectacular manner having lost with 3:4 scoreline in a breath-taking football thriller against Arsenal on the road. The team’s performance at away grounds was a weak point of “The Foxes” last season while at home they were doing not bad having gained six victories, three draws and three defeats in 12 clashes.

Brighton have also started the season in the Premier League with a loss. “The Seagulls” couldn’t stop Manchester City at their own turf, having been broken with 0:2 scoreline. Brighton looked pretty well-balanced side in the Championship, however, the Premier League is a completely different level and the team needs to get used to it.
Brighton have not been defeated by Leicester City in their last three encounters with two recent head-to-heads won 3:1, 4:1. Nevertheless, on this stage, apart from the fact that “The Foxes” play at their home field where they are not very generous in losing their points, the team is also much stronger than “The Seagulls” which means that Leicester City must beat the new-comer while the latter is getting used to the elite division, especially bearing in mind that Brighton started enforcing their squad only in August, consequently, the players need time to find the team play.
Prediction for the match: Leicester City to win.
